Cadillac entered the 1980s with a restyled line of cars. The 1980s models showed their true Cadillac heritage with the larger, Veed Cadillac grill, the continuation of the horizontal headlamps (used since 1969), and a revised rear bumper and deck face. There were many similarities to the previous 1977-1979 Cadillacs, but the revisions for 1980 were aimed towards larger and more bold. The basic style of the car remained the same through the 1984 model year, with only minor cosmetic changes each year. In fact, it's difficult to tell one year from another.
Fleetwood Limousines like the 1980 were used extensively in Washington, DC, for heads of state, senators, and other dignitaries. In the late 1970s to late 1990s, one of these cars (black, of course) usually led the Presidential motorcade.
At that time they had different trim levels. Thus, for example : velour upholstery with thick cut-pile carpeting, two auxillary or "jump" seats for a seating capacity of eight, Fleetwood wire wheel covers, automatic leveling control, six-way power adjustable front seat, electric door locks, power windows, reading lamps for rear seat passengers, rear climate and radio controls, and a working 8-track tape player. It is powered by Cadillac's 368 cubic inch V8 engine.
